location photography
i.e. direct shooting on site vs. reproduction photography — shooting a photograph to reproduce it.

Yeah, but I'm struggling to express this in English properly. Perhaps "original photo" vs. "reproduced photo"?

Note from asker:
| Taking a photo of the building(s), as opposed to taking a photo of a photo - seems straightforward enough. Thank you. |

: натурная съемка is a term to be translated into a precise English equivalent. There's no term as location photography// Never late to learn more; find precise equivalent in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panchatantra// I'm here not to teach you. Good luck!

"precise" is a poor choice of modifier for "equivalent", I'm afraid; as for "there's no such term as", I'd hardly figure your definition of "there is such term as" so http://tinyurl.com/353brlt // Panchatantra is not even English. // Take care.

Discussion
The distinction between натурная and репродукционная still seems slightly odd to me, and I wonder if it's the result of something hastily translated into Russian.
